After Reese ended the call, Axel realized he had no use for Chloe again, so he sprung up and made his way out of the study to go and forcefully chase Chloe out of his house.Chloe was still lying down naked on the bed when he got to his room. Before he left the room, her nakedness had no effect on him, and he could tolerate it. But after the phone conversation with Reese, her nakedness disgusted him so much that he couldn’t even bear to look at it."Welcome back." Chloe beamed. "Are you done with work? Or do you want another round?"Another round? He thought, and that thought disgusted him. "Get up and put your clothes on." He instructed her, and she pursed her lips into a pout. "I want to remain like this." She whined. "No, you are not!" He groaned. "Get up, gather your things, and leave!"Confusion spread over her face. "You said I could stay. What changed?""What changed is that I don’t want you here anymore." He snarled. "I realized how much of a snake you are, and I don’t want
The Sweetest Temptation 100| Date with Zayn.
When Reese got back home, Lucy was in the living room, watching a movie. The moment she sighted Reese, she jumped full steam on the worry train as she sprung up and rushed to where Reese was standing. "What happened?" Lucy asked, concerned, as she wrapped her arms around her. "I swear I am going to kill that man. I swear to God."Reese managed to tell Lucy all that happened. In between sobs and rage suddenly boiled in Lucy’s veins."He is a fucking bastard." She seethed as she led Reese to the bedroom. "You can cry all you want right now. But I want you to get over him.""I wish it was that easy." She cried. "Do you know what hurts the most? I have no right to be angry with him because our relationship is not defined.""You have every right to be angry at him!" Lucy exclaimed. "You guys made an agreement to be loyal to each other. Damn it, he fucking lied that you were the only one he could react to.”"But—" she sobbed."You’ll heal, baby." She patted her back. "You’ll heal.""I hope
The Sweetest Temptation 101| Quidone.
When Reese pulled the front door open, Lucy was standing there, a dark look saturating her features. "Why did you do that?" Lucy asked angrily. "So you were watching?" Reese said as she walked past her. "Yes. I was." She said as she trailed behind Reese. "Why did you reject him like that? You didn’t even give him time.""I told you before I went on the date. I don’t feel anything for him, and I decided to tell him the truth before his hopes get raised too high." Reese explained. "How would you feel something for him when you wouldn’t open up your heart?" Lucy retorted. "Lucy!" Reese exclaimed. "This is also very hard for me. I tried to, but when I did, guess what? All I could think about was Axel. I fucking tried!”"You didn’t try enough!" Lucy exclaimed. "If you really wanted to try, you wouldn’t have rejected him yet. You would have given yourself time to groom the love.""Lucy, when he kissed me, do you know how I felt? Disgusted!" Reese yelled. "It shouldn’t be that wa
The Sweetest Temptation 102| I appreciate you.
Reese woke up with a very terrible headache the following day, and she could barely open her eyes."Awake?" Lucy asked when she saw her struggling to open her eyes."How did I get home yesterday?" Reese asked, as she tried to recall the series of events. But nothing was coming to her. "You can’t remember?" Lucy asked, raising her brow. "Of course you won’t remember how you puked all over me yesterday."Her eyes grew wider. "I did?"Lucy nodded her head. "You did.""I am so sorry," she apologized. "I am sorry, Lucy.""I should be the one apologizing." Lucy said, "I shouldn’t have talked to you the way I did. I am your best friend. I should have understood you better and not blamed you.""Thank you," Reese said as she struggled to sit up and hug Lucy. "I love you.""I love you more.""But how did I get home yesterday?" Reese asked curiously."A cab driver brought you home; he said it was the bartender that hailed the taxi." Lucy told her. "The bartender is so nice," Reese said. "The c

Axel thought about reese and he wanted to see her, he wanted to hear her voice, he picked up his phone and dialled her number.“Please pick up.” he muttered as he waited for her to pick the phone, but he was directed to her voice mail. His stomach sank when he remembered what the bartender had told him about the two men who harassed her at the bar. He had to do something about it, he thought. He was at the bar now, standing. He had a hunch they would be here; he knew from what the bartender had told him that they were predators, and one thing you could count on predators to do was be at their hunting grounds.He looked around to see a tall, blonde man with a hefty build and his short friend with the black biker jacket. He bet they had matching tattoos, and just the thought of that made him smile. He saw them seated at the edge of the bar; they both looked a bit tipsy but not too drunk. Axel knew how to pick a fight; it wasn't something new to him. He walked over to their table and
The Sweetest Temptation 104| Job.
Reese was up early; she needed to get a job; she needed the money; and she also needed something to take her mind off Axel.Axel was rooted in her mind. She could remember his cologne, his smile, the way he talked, and every single detail of him by just hearing his name. She desperately needed to stop thinking about him before she goes crazy. “Are you ready?” Lucy asked, cutting through her thoughts. She was all dressed too; she wore a skirt with a white top with flapping pumas on the side. She also looked like she was going for an interview. She had insisted on tagging along so her friend Reese would not lose her cool. She needed to support her.Reese liked Lucy’s judgment, so she agreed to have her tag along. With everything that was going on, all she needed was someone who could see through her emotional tussle; after all, two are better than one, and as they searched, it would be like an all-girls outing. But this time they would go browsing for a job.The search wasn't long, and
The Sweetest Temptation 105| Mr. Anderson.
Later that evening, she was done with the scheduling and she was ready to go home. It was past the closing hour and her boss, Mr. Anderson, was not back yet.She was about to call him when her office phone rang. "Hello," she said, holding the receiver to her ear.“You can go home and continue tomorrow. Sorry that I didn’t inform you earlier. Right now, I am in Spain and would be back tomorrow.” He said from the other end of the phone. “Oh.” She gasped, shocked that he wasn't even in the country. “I have already finished sorting and profiling the guests for the occasion.”“Okay, then you can take it to my house and drop it off. I will tell my driver to take you and then drop you off at your house. He will be waiting for you in front of the office building. When you get to my house, ask for directions, and drop it off in my study. Close the office afterwards.” He said, and the line was cold again; he was gone.Phew! She sighed.She packed the files and made her way to the elevator, pr
The Sweetest Temptation 106| Alex.
Alex went to the window and watched her walk with grace; he knew there was something special about her, and he would not take no for an answer. But for today, he had no choice but to let her go; he knew there was going to be plenty of opportunity for him to court her.Meanwhile, she was in the car, and the driver was on the road again. Soon, the car stopped, and she got off and went into her apartment.She did not say a word to the driver, who had also not said much all through the trip.She was tired and needed rest; she liked that Mr. Anderson had been thoughtful enough to let his driver drop her home.All she thought about was a quick, relaxing bath, and then she would sit in front of the television and eat dinner.As she opened the door, she smiled immediately to see Lucy there to welcome her. Lucy looked out the window and asked, "Who is that?"I went to drop off some files at Mr. Anderson's home.“Who is Mr. Anderson?”“My boss.” She replied.Lucy slammed her palm on her forehea
